Lavash 511 Irving Street, San Francisco, CA 94122

"TLDR: 3.5 stars amazing service but flavors were a bit lacking for me We came in around 5:15 without a reservation and were seated with an ask to have the table ready for a 6:30 reservation. Our server was pleasant and welcoming, gave us a sample of the house drink to try in case we didn’t want a full glass. The presentation of the teas were very nice as well with rock candy to sweeten the tea. The salad dressing in the lavash salad was too salty and the lamb chops were cooked to the perfect temperature but the seasoning lacked a bit of flavor (the gaminess of the lamb was taken out in a way that eliminated the overall flavor). In this case, I rounded up to a 4 because of the amazing service but the flavor of the food was a bit one note"

"The best Persian restaurant in SF ! I’ve been to many different ones that are supposed to be decent, however, none is better than this place. I usually order lavash special and fesenjan and they are out of world . The mean is so tender, juice with lots of flavors they marinate. Rice is buttery with full of saffron flavor . I probably come here every month and the quality of foods is always consistent. Highly highly recommend this place if you want to try Persian foods !"

"We were deciding where to eat and settled on Lavash, a Persian spot. The outdoor sidewalk patio area is cute but didn't see any heaters (only a few blankets). No lunch options sadly. - Armenian coffee ($5.00 USD) - 2x Kashk-e bademjan ($9.00 USD) - lavash bread was a touch dry, eggplant dip was solid. - Bademjan ($27.00 USD) - lamb was slightly dry, eggplant was great. - Lavash special ($53.00 USD) - rice was nice and buttery. Chicken slightly overcooked. The mixed ground beef & lamb skewer were better. Lamb chop were easily the best bites. - Taste of Persia ($57.00 USD) - beef fillet was nicely cooked. Decent Persian eats but pricey. Nothing we can't find back home. 3.5 stars."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at an Iranian gem in San Francisco that left my taste buds singing with delight. This hidden culinary treasure boasts an impressive array of delectable dishes that elevate Persian cuisine to a whole new level. From succulent kebabs to flavorful stews, each plate was a symphony of authentic flavors, prepared with evident skill and passion. The ambiance of the restaurant transported me to the heart of Iran, with its charming décor and inviting setting. The warm lighting and traditional accents created an enchanting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the exquisite cuisine. However, I must admit that the experience was slightly marred by the lackluster customer service. The waitstaff, unfortunately, seemed disengaged and inattentive, which was disappointing given the overall exceptional quality of the establishment. While the food and ambiance were unparalleled, the subpar service left a noticeable gap in an otherwise outstanding dining experience. Despite this shortcoming, the restaurant's culinary prowess and captivating ambiance make it a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary taste of Iran in the heart of San Francisco."
